that is a pretty big layout." So, how big is it?

It's 10 by ~17 feet.  This is WAMALUG's layout at the Sixth Annual Manassas Railway Festival in VA.
There will be several layouts in all the major
scales and even 'real' trains.  Virginia Railway Express(a local commuter line)
will be sponsoring rail excursions and I think there will be some equipment
brought in by Amtrak and Norfolk Southern.  There will also be live
entertainment, historical renactments, lots of food, etc.

Actually this is going to be a pretty unique experiance for us- the show
takes place in a parking lot.  We have a tent to cover the layout.  Has
any of the clubs ever had a outside event and are there any experiances
you can share?

Outside events? Experiences to share? Well, since you ask, yes. When PNLTC did our layout with the LEGO 25th Anniversary truck tour in Portland back in 1998, we were setup underneath a tent right next to the cab of the LEGO truck. Our layout was (...)

Chris, Thanks, It looked like a good size. Big enough to get a bunch of different things in it, but not so big as to make it to big for a room in a house. Have fun at the show. Chris (...) (25 years ago, 4-May-00, to lugnet.trains)
